Hi all. I bought myself an MC wagon yesterday and planning on adding some roof racks. Any suggestions?
It has the flush rather than raised roof rails. All I've found so far are these Rhino Racks, but $300+ is more than I want to spend. http://www.rhinorack.com.au/products...of-rack_ja2268 Cheers |

Great choice of car deserves a great choice of racks!
Try these (Whispbar & Thule); http://www.whispbar.com.au/ & http://www.thule.com.au/

Cheers.
Whispbar don't seem to have ones for the flush/solid rails. Thule are quite a bit more $$ than the rhinos. Is there anything wrong with rhino ? |

Thule do a set of mounting brackets that fit the flush rails.

I ended up getting a 2nd hand pair of Thule Wingbars for about 1/2 RRP. All the correct parts except the fit kit. $65 for a new kit but the existing kit will fit my other car, so it's worked out well. .
Now I just need to decide on: - Bike carrier. Thule 591/598 seem like the obvious choice. - Roof pod or basket. I'm leaning towards a Rhino wire basket |
